Realizations! Slowly they'll figure it out.

Next is the realization that the actual character animation CIG puts out look like crap from 2006, and what they show off is to be assumed to be their best stuff. (Can't wait to see "mopping guy" finally pan out into his own... whatever they think that's important enough to keep showing off for)

Soon following that will be the realization that Chris Roberts isn't taking his time to only release perfection, because nothing has been remotely perfect that hasn't felt like a last ditch effort to save face.

But that could take years still.

Like that's a rad computer ui, but once again a massive indicator of Chris slavishly duplicating another property without understanding it rather than empowering his team to develop a thematically consistent universe.

Isn't that sandworm just a screen capture from their scripted cryeditor.map "demo" from another angle? Were they that lazy and turned on free camera mode or paused the movie totally real game?

Chris Roberts really has done something nobody else has been able to do, revolutionizing gaming.

He has created the Quantum Game which is a quantum superposition of both being a pioneering product that did everything first and having started development well after the things they have pioneered existed

Pastposting a bit, but to be fair to them E3 is absolute trash. Then again, that's video game marketing in general. Remember kids, don't preorder digital goods and don't buy things sight unseen! Footage from a press conference doesn't count, even if the guy talking is holding a controller while he talks!

I feel i got legit burned on that day 1 purchase. Burned through the game and got to that end game dungeon where you kill that dragon with the gunship.

gently caress pressing 1 for 30 minutes. Seriously. Whoever came up with that fight would fit right in with crobbers.

Hell, maybe. I would just challenge ownership criteria before going off about theft if I was Reddit people. Law makes my brain hurt to be honest. I feel like the one person on the internet that would never want to claim to be any form of lawyer.

However, auditing in Germany I hear is a sweet gig.

Yeah, I'm not a lawyer either, but I think the interesting bit (that others have pointed out) is that it's not a matter of if this is theft or not, but what the value of stolen jpegs are. A stolen NPR tote bag isn't worth what your donation point was; it's worth a tote bag. A stolen account to a closed MMO is worth nothing, despite what you've paid over the years towards it. You could argue that most of the expensive jpegs have no value to them, because stealing them doesn't deprive the owner of anything. However that probably won't hold up in court thanks to the grey market giving a quantifiable value to jpegs, making any restitution calculation pretty easy.

The difference here is that instead of letting you take the tote bag home, an MMO insists that you leave the tote bag in a locker on their premises, and they promise to let you use it whenever you want. Because they have failed to properly secure the premises, they have a duty to restore the property that you are now deprived of use. In the case of both a tote bag or a jpeg, these are of nominal intrinsic value and thus should be quickly and easily replaced. If the items are not quickly and easily replaced, then the claim that the items are of nominal intrinsic value is less plausible, and opens up an alternative interpretation. That the money you pay an MMO is locker rental, and if the company is at fault (by using cheap locks, etc) they could be responsible to return the rent paid on the locker and/or the value of its contents. -not a lawyer-
